How do you feel about the new boomers?

why is it less difficult to build the ford carriers than it is to build a sub?

Nuclear powered submarines essentially has an entire wars worth of power and water, in terms of total deployment and submerged running time the real limit is air and food. One way to get past this limit is to reduce crew sizes, which gives more air and food per person, and results in longer submerged times and deployment times. America refuses to reduce crew sizes and automate like everyone else, because reducing personnel would cut the budgets in half, which would mean less "wiggle room" for someone corrupt to skim money. East bloc subs have 224 submerged tonnes per crewmember, whereas Ohio has 120 submerged tonnes per crewmember Ergo their only option is to cut crucial systems like weapons, to make room for extra air and food.

A carrier is basically an airtight apartment building. It's built of concrete and bolted together, uses a huge hunk of iron as ballast. As long as it floats its good.
A sub is built of specialty steels, has to be welded and then every weld scanned for any microfractures, because it actually goes to depth.
It's why the columbia class sub program is 100 billion and the ford class carrier program is 40 billion.

Food is the only limitation, oxygen is generated by electrolyzing water.

How is that not treason?

Remember when we fried 2 kikes for handing secrets to the soviets?

Right, sorry, long day.

Treason is impossible to prove if the people being traitors are also the people in charge of finding and punishing traitors. The true check and balance are the American people, and as of this moment the American people seem to be fine with being robbed and betrayed. Corruption is acceptable for the average westerner, really.

As for efficiency… I think Americans are scared of being too successful, like there's some sense of feeling guilty if you're too efficient. Also there's a deep knowledge that your way of doing things is right, and other cultures should be convinced of that instead of just destroyed the problem is that americans think your way is democracy and parliamentary law, when it actually is the exact opposite, so you're actually encouraging and prosetylizing a flawed government system globally.

Anyway, all this baggage is holding you back. With current automation technology America could theoretically build subs Ohios size with only about 50 crew, could afford to man hundreds of them, and even build them using automated factories like cars but larger. But none of that is useful for convincing third worlders that "democracy", a flawed system proven to be shit 2500 years ago, is da best.

At this rate why not just make a giant sub called uss gibmedats with an old shitty deck gun and 1 crew member per tonne and fill it with the most useless idiots in the military? bonus points for getting it rammed by a cargo ship despite being a fucking submarine

But we use our nuclear silos for that.

That's true and also safer, as it can't accidentally ram a cargo ship.

Same as why it's easier to build a B-52 than a B-2 and a seaplane version of a B-2 at that.
Carriers aren't that hard to built, WW2 ones had wooden parts remember?
Subs on the other hand have so many different complicated things to take in mind (dive pressure, temperature fluctuations, sounds propagation, limited space, wake limitation, etc…).

And remember how the dems are still bitching about it and often pretend they were wrongly accused or that it was too harsh a punishment?
